Zusammenfassung
Why write a chapter on working time when Gerhard Bosch and I have been for a long time gently arguing and quarrelling over the overall efficiency of a general reduction of working time and its potential impact on unemployment? Well, because in spite of our minor academic controversy, time has not eroded our friendship, our mutual esteem, or our 20 year-long scientific collaboration.
Some parts of this chapter rely heavily on a research financed by Eurofound and performed jointly with Christine Franz and Angelika Kümmerling (cf. Anxo et al. 2012a and 2013).
